A month ago, I started having headaches. While some days I only felt a slight disturbance at the back of my head, I also experienced severe pains. At times I could feel my heart pounding inside my skull. I delayed going to the doctor’s office, although it’s been going on for a few weeks—until came a night when I feared my life. I started showing specific symptoms of having a stroke. I immediately called an Uber and went to an emergency room in the middle of the night. It was my first ER experience in a country where I don’t speak the native language. I did not know whether I would explain myself, but luckily, everyone I talked to was proficient in English—including the ER doctor who listened to my whole story and suspected the high stress as the root cause of my symptoms.
